Once again, Detroit winds up looking like a circus as the City Council President Monica Conyers, wife of Congressman John Conyers--(D), Detroit, shows everyone that even though hubby and his political connections got her that plum city job, she's still just a ghetto thugette who will continue to race against embattled Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick to see who can drag the city down the fastest and farthest.
What'd she do now, you ask? Well it appears per the Detroit News and a police report filed Thursday by DeDan Milton, an assistant to Kilpatrick, Conyers threatened to shoot Milton with her gun and made several aggressive movements toward Milton in a threatening manner.
Milton also reported to police that Conyers said she would have my brothers (mess) him up. (NOTE: I've heard that she didn't say "mess". The word she used begins with an "F" and rhymes with "truck".)
And this was confirmed to police by David Clark, chair of Detroit's General Retirement System, who backed up Milton's account.
"She ran at him," Clark told The Detroit News. "She told him she would get a gun if she had to and that she has four brothers and they would whup his ass if she asked them."
Clark said the verbal battle started when Conyers came late to the board meeting and wanted to talk about an investment issue the trustees had already discussed.
"The comment that was made (by Milton) was, 'Can we move forward? We've already discussed this,' " Clark said. "That's what triggered everything."
He said Conyers said she could do what she wanted and called Milton foul names. Clark also said Conyers ran toward Milton and had to be restrained by other trustees.
Seriously folks...how do the city residents expect the city to run much less maintain the required respectability needed to enter into contracts when the President of the City Council acts like an over-the-hill gangsta rapperette? This is the best person that voters could elect?
Oh yeah...I forgot. Voters in Detroit are given the "choice" of voting for the Democrat selected by a party slate. That's the person that the party machine has already agreed will get the job and the nominees placed on the slate and distributed at local union halls, city workplaces, and in front of the polls are always the ones who win. Getting on the slate means that the job's yours right after the "election" and John Conyers was able to muscle his wife onto the slate, no doubt in return for services rendered elsewhere in some back room.
And lest anyone think that this is an isolated occurrence for Monica Conyers, she has a history of violence and threats. In 2006, Conyers was accused of punching a Walled Lake woman during a bar fight and in 2005, a former friend of Monica Conyers named Valencia Moore filed for a personal protection order against Conyers, testifying that Conyers had threatened to kill her.
Detroiters, you need to reflect on the adage that we all get the government that we deserve. There's a reason that you've got Thugarella (Conyers) running the Council and a Mayor (Kilpatrick) who is fast bankrupting the city with lawsuits spurred by his own personal behavior. You fools re-elected Kilpatrick knowing what he'd done and you've ignored Monica Conyers' before shenanigans too. You've also given her husband John Conyers a pass on his own illegal and unethical behavior. As ridiculous their antics are and as harmful to the city, it's just as much on you Detroit voters as it is on them.
